The wife’s ML has one of those column mount shifters (thankfully the AMGs use a more traditional console mounted one) but when you open the door, if you’re in gear, it puts the car in park. You cannot override that. It’s so fucking simple and most manufacturers do something just like this but I’m not at all surprised…

This is why I strongly believe in buying the best example of whatever car you want that you can afford. Whatever savings you eke out up front almost always catch up to you.

Ok but do you remember the one they solved using hair glitter (apropos of your name), that was amazing.

Lol I know. I just can’t sit back and let somebody badmouth great television :)

You shut your mouth. Forensic files is great television and a staple of any business hotel stay.

When I leased my AMG, it had a sticker on the windshield about break-in, etc. I ignored those recommendations on the test drive and every day since. Haven’t had any problems with the car but I wouldn’t buy it CPO if I were you lol.

Everybody is acting like it was just horrendous - it wasn’t. It felt a little more scripted and stiff at times, but this was their first show and it was thrown together VERY quickly. If you remember the first series with Clarkson, Hammond and May, it was pretty stiff at times too.

NP because even in Europe where they were sold, they are going for good money. IN the US, you’d be the only person with one so that’s gotta count for something. Plus you made an incredible Hitchcock reference so that influenced me too.

True enough (in some areas) but has anyone ever invented a better charging system for a laptop? If they could somehow perform that magic in the world of charging cars (which is admittedly WAY harder), they could have a big slice of the market.

The backseats aren’t totally useless though. For those of us with the right size kids, it’s the supercar we’re allowed to buy so that on the occasional days where we need to take the kids to school, we can. If I were going to buy this, it would have to be a 3rd car, and there’s no way in hell my wife is signing off on…

162k isn’t a lot of money for someone who runs the UAW. You can disagree with him but acting 162k is a shit-ton of money is just silly.

Goddamit, now I guess my haircut shouldn’t be correct like Anthony Mason after all with weak shit like this going down.

Yeah but that’s just because everyone in Portland gets a free subaru, a pair of Birkenstocks, and a bottle of patchouli oil when they move there.

Came here to post this. God I hate that coexist sticker and all the Prius’ it’s always on.

I’d rather have either of his other two cars.

BMW i8. It’s a 2+2 and I’m seriously considering it for my next car. But my kids are old enough for booster seats so I don’t know if your test will help or hurt me.

My ex amanda drove with you in the Polizei M5 one of those early years. She had a great time but probably because you guys were doing it right and not taking it too seriously. These days it’s become a bit of a joke and it only serves to make the rich look even less connected to the rest of the world.

Uhh yeah they are. They all make over 8k a month working for Google.

You have to read the whole thing. I mentioned in there that you still need to change the oil but it might not happen at the proper frequency, etc. With a Wankel, you better be religious, there is no margin of error and even if you follow it properly, you’ll still be rebuilding it before 200k most likely.
